But great art doesn’t necessarily require paints and a paintbrush. There are all kinds of materials that can be used to create amazing works of art. With a little imagination, almost any object can be turned into a work of art. In fact, many of today’s most creative artists use everyday objects to make their artworks. Jane Perkins is one such artist: she uses a wide range of found materials to make her art. She is wel known for her portraits of famous people. She creates these using whatever she finds in rubbish bins, at recycling centres or at car boot sales. For example, she has used old buttons and even small toys to make her portraits. What one person regards as rubbish, an artist may regard as a source of creativity. But you don’t necessarily have to fish（寻找） around for used objects to find inspiration for your art. Instead, you could take a walk outside and look for interesting natural materials. Nature is a great source of unexpected art supplies such as leaves, grass, smal stones and sand.
